Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! And Happy First of May!!! We are just SO excited for all the awesome things that will be happening this month…one being Quilt Market! Wooo – see you at booth 101!

It’s time to end our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a beautiful tunic by the blog szycie i cala reszta, featuring our Iconic Collection. Iconic is our feminine and dainty collection of pink, taupe, and navy hues in gorgeous geometrics. When we look at this collection, we feel very 1950s inspired – mid-length dresses, fabulous hats, and elegant accessories. We can imagine a lovely tea dress in our navy and pink sartorial print, worn by the iconic Coco Chanel herself!

The blogger behind szycie i cala reszta created a lovely tunic top with the french knot design of our Iconic Collection, and it looks so good!! We love the cleanness of the tunic, really showcasing the boldness of the print. Such a wonderful, chic tunic!

Thank you so much for sharing your Camelot Fabrics project with us! You can find more on her blog, Instagram, and Facebook. Her blog is in Polish, but her projects are so lovely to look at (I believe szycie is sewing in Polish) :) Have a great weekend!!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Sunday! We are bringing you a very special, extra post this week because today is May the 4th which means…it’s #StarWarsDay!! This is for all our fellow Star Wars fans; we’ve got some fun things happening at Camelot Fabrics that we wanted to share with you today in honor of May the 4th! :)

Firstly, some May the 4th facts! Of course, the iconic phrase “may the force be with you” sparked the now celebrated May 4th as Star Wars Day. But, the first time the phrase was used was on May 4th, 1979 when Margaret Thatcher became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As a congratulatory advertisement in the newspaper, her party wrote “May the 4th be with you, Maggie, Congratulation”. May 4th is now coined as Star Wars Day and is celebrated worldwide by Star Wars fans, with organized events, parties, games, and more!

We are also celebrating Star Wars Day here at Camelot Fabrics and are giving away 4 Yards of our Glow-in-the-Dark Star Wars fabric this week! The giveaway is on our Facebook Page, so be sure to head on over there to enter by telling us who your favorite SW character is and why! The giveaway ends this Wednesday, so be sure to enter is you haven’t yet soon.

And lastly, we want to leave all our Star Wars fans with something to look forward to. We are SO thrilled that you have enjoyed our past Star Wars fabric collections, showcasing your amazing projects with us, and for all your wonderful comments! We absolutely love hearing your stories and we hope to continue to inspire your projects & crafts! Yes, that’s right SW fans – We are launching a brand new Star Wars fabric collection for Spring 2014, and we are sure you will absolutely adore it! We cannot wait for you to see the collection! We will be sharing a sneak peak of it at Spring QM, and lots more to come this month!! VERY exciting stuff!! :)

We wish all our fellow Star Wars fans a wonderful Star Wars Day! And of course, may the force be with you! :)

Happy Sewing!
